Marc Maron Wants to End ‘GLOW’ with a Netflix Movie

GLOW may have been canceled by Netflix, but Marc Maron isn’t done fighting quite yet. In a new (and incredibly delightful) Instagram video, Maron urged Netflix to give GLOW a proper conclusion with a feature-length film that would tell the story originally planned for the show’s fourth and final season. “Why don’t you give the showrunners and the writers and the cast an opportunity to finish the story in a movie, right?” asked the actor. “I think that would be the best thing.”

On Tuesday, Maron released a lengthy Instagram video addressing Netflix’s sudden GLOW cancellation (as well as plenty of other things). He explained that producers were told that the decision to cancel the wrestling comedy was “a financial one in that [Netflix] didn’t want to pay to keep the sets alive” amid the show’s COVID-19 shutdown. “They were two and a half episodes in,” he said of production on GLOW Season 4. “They day that we went into lockdown, that was my first day shooting, I think on the third episode.”

Maron is clearly disappointed about GLOW‘s cancellation, but he has a few ideas about how Netflix can rectify the situation. “I think what they should do is just — okay so you don’t wanna do the show anymore, but let us make a movie, right? Let us wrap it up in a two-hour Netflix movie,” he said. “They had the whole season laid out. We know where it’s gonna go.”

The actor’s idea was immediately endorsed by his fellow GLOW stars, including Kate Nash. “I agree with Marc Maron about saving GLOW Netflix and the squirrel,” she tweeted alongside a clip of Maron’s Instagram video (the squirrel reference makes sense if you watch, but no spoilers!). “Fuck it let’s be actual GLOW girls and #SaveGLOW.”

Your move, Netflix. Give the people (and Marc Maron, Kate Nash, the rest of the GLOW cast, and that squirrel) what they want.
